Nokia Benefits Website Changed

The Nokia US benefit plan administrator’s website address for Your Benefits Resources™(YBR) has been changed. The new YBR website address is: https://digital.alight.com/nokia

While the website address has changed, retirees should continue using their current YBR User IDs and passwords to access their personalized benefits information on YBR.

As a reminder, retirees can use the YBR website for benefit-related activities such as:

  • Enrolling in Nokia’s health and welfare plans (e.g., medical and dental);
  • Making and/or changing Nokia Savings/401(k) Plan elections;
  • Updating dependent or beneficiary information, in applicable; and
  • Projecting pension benefits and/or electing to commence pension benefits, if applicable.

Anyone who bookmarked the old YBR website address should take a moment to update the bookmark to reflect the new address.

The old YBR website address will continue to be active through December 31, 2019. Until that time, anyone using the old website address will automatically be redirected to the new website address.

Retirees’ questions about this change should be directed to the Nokia Benefits Resource Center (NBRC) at 888-232-4111, Monday – Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. ET.
